At the moment all White's mating threats are covered by the four black pieces on the back rank, so how can White break the deadlock? White to play and mate in two.
OK
I have a way if black plays along

Rh1 Bxc7
Rh4 mate

Needless to say I would have been timed out before finding this solution
Please tell me I am correct ๐Ÿ˜€

The move Rh1 leads to that all black move will be mate in one for white. Not Rh3 because of Bg5 for black.
